Love those faces
I always travel alone or with a travel mate. I would like to go to Ethiopia, and of course some other African countries, but I think travelling alone is a little complicated in those lands. Tell me: how did you visit this tribe in Ethiopia? On a tour? Alone? You can write to my email: gracetandil@yahoo.com.ar Thank you. I love the pictures and the texts you write. Love from Argentina.

The intensity and concentration of the eyes of all involved in the face painting portion of the initiation is incredible - you have captured it beautifully in this photo.

Lovely photo!
Thanks Per-Olof. This one is also a favourite of mine. There is a special feel when photographing tribal people from Africa. They usually are not self conscious...just proud of who they are...and when they show attitude like this one...voila!

Superbly informative
Thank you for commenting Roger. Jumping with the Hamar is a blog from years back that can be as relevant now as it was back then. The photography opportunities among the tribes of sthn Ethiopia and the stories that weave as you do so will remain with you forever. I hope you can embrace the opportunity someday.
